    This publication contains the main findings of the Global Forest Resources Assessment 2020 (FRA 2020). The data in FRA 2020 have been obtained through a transparent, traceable, reporting process and a well- established network of officially nominated national correspondents. The information provided by FRA presents a comprehensive picture of the world's forests and the ways the resource is changing. Such a clear global picture supports the development of sound policies, practices and investements affecting forests and forestry.

    Food control system assessment tool
    Introductory booklet
    2021
    Also available in:

    In 2019, FAO and WHO jointly developed a comprehensive tool to assist Member states in assessing the effectiveness of national food control systems. The main objective of the tool is to propose a harmonized, objective and consensual basis to analyse the performance of a national food control system. It is intended to be used by countries to identify priority areas of improvement and plan sequential and coordinated activities to reach expected outcomes. The Tool is based on Codex principles and Guidelines for National Food Control Systems, as well as other relevant Codex guidance for food control systems, and its scope is given by the dual objectives quoted in Codex guidance for these systems: protect health of consumers and ensure fair practices in the food trade. This introductory booklet provides a general overview of the FAO/WHO Food Control System Assessment Tool, the assessment process and the benefits of its implementation. It also includes an interactive outline of the tool to facilitate its browsing.
